i used to use ABC, switched to azureus. i like it the best. occaisionally if I have a huge load on the computer, then I'll use utorrent, because it doesn't use java.

i ddin't read the link, but u should look up port forwarding and choosing the correct ports so you can download at the max speed

I'm on a Mac, so I use Azureus (for overnight downloads) and Transmission (if I'm using my computer). Be sure to open the proper ports on your router if you have a firewall. It'll improve the results and more people will connect to you (or in Azureus' case, you'll get a nice green smiley face icon next to the thing you're downloading on the list).

For software I use torrentspy.com, mininova.org, isohunt.com. For anime and J-Pop junk, I go to tokyotosho.com.

I found uTorrent is a lot nicer to your network and generally runs better than Azerus. mininova.org +1

a few sites http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/romeria/top25.htm If I were to use torrents I would probably be using seedler and torrentspy as some hunting grounds. I'd also probably use azureus because of it's remote abilities

Remote abilities? Do tell. I'd like to set up my torrents when I'm away from home on my laptop when I'm on vacation or at a friend's house to download onto my desktop computer.
